  The car was passing through the mountains. Suddenly, a giant marble sign with the words "Guan Dan Industrial Park in Mazhong" engraved in Chinese and English appeared on the side of the road, followed by rows of office buildings, dormitories, factories and warehouses … … Walking into the scene, thousands of Chinese and Malaysian staff are busy. Bulldozers here are still under intense construction, and red hot metal has been poured out of the boilers in the steel works there.

  The Mazhong Guan Dan Industrial Park on the east coast of Malaysia, together with the Zhongma Qinzhou Industrial Park, became the first sister district in the world to build industrial parks in each other’s countries, creating a "two-country, two-park" model. In 2014, the Supreme Leader of president, China proposed to turn Qinzhou and Guan Dan Industrial Parks into flagship projects of China-Malaysia cooperation and China — Asean cooperation demonstration zone. Nowadays, the construction of Guan Dan Industrial Park is speeding up, and the first project, United Steel Plant, is about to be put into full operation, which indicates that the industrial park has begun to enter the "output stage".

  The equipment technology, energy saving and environmental protection technology of United Iron and Steel Project have reached the world leading level.

  "Although this place is so lively now, when I first came here five or six years ago, the industrial park had not officially leveled the soil, and there were swamps everywhere." Eileen Gong, general manager of the International Liaison Department of Beibu Gulf Holdings (Malaysia) Co., Ltd., witnessed the process of the industrial park from scratch, from conception to reality. Standing at the gate of the endless stream of parks, looking at the vehicles and crowds that keep coming in and out, Eileen Gong said with emotion: "Such a large industrial park has actually been built by us, just like dreaming."

  Hu Jiulin, deputy project commander of United Steel (Malaysia) Group Company, has the same feeling. "When I first came here in 2014, there were only a few of us, everyone ‘ Dwelling in humble abode ’ In a small room, there is no network in the room. When you need a network for your office, you can only go to a nearby western restaurant to surf the Internet. "

  The joint iron and steel project is planned to produce 3.5 million tons per year, and the equipment technology and energy-saving and environmental protection technology adopted have reached the world’s leading level. After it is fully put into production, it will become the largest steel plant in Malaysia.

  Because the local steel production capacity in Malaysia is not strong, the local government initially worried that this China steel enterprise with advanced technology and production capacity would "snatch" the local rice bowl. United Steel dispelled their concerns with practical actions: local employees account for 70% of the total number of employees, more than 500 million US dollars of the total investment is spent locally, more than 40 Malaysian steel traders are cooperated and led to settle in the park, and the salary of employees is higher than the local average wage level & HELIP; …

  After the trust was established, the United Steel Project received strong support from the local government, and all administrative examination and approval procedures passed smoothly with high efficiency.

  Four sisters learn Chinese by heart.

  In Malaysia, many Chinese maintain Chinese traditional culture, but not many Malays can speak Chinese fluently. Atila, secretary of General Manager of United Steel, is one of them. "I learned Chinese since I was a child, but because my mother tongue is Malay, I learned it very hard. When I was 13 years old, I remember that there were 8 classes, and the pressure was particularly great. I once wanted to give up Chinese, but I still gritted my teeth. " Atila said with a smile.

  Atila’s father is an accounting professor at Mara University of Technology. He has long realized that China has great potential for future development and thinks that mastering Chinese is a necessary skill for children. "I have one sister and two sisters, and all four of us have been learning Chinese since childhood."

  In 2014, Atila went to beijing language and culture university to study Chinese. After three years’ experience in China, Atila really felt the friendship between the people of Malaysia and China and the great pleasure of learning Chinese. "I am very shocked by the development speed of China. China represents the hope and future of the world. It is definitely right to learn Chinese." Atila said that she learned about the Belt and Road Initiative in Chinese class. "I believe that more and more China enterprises will come to Malaysia, so I made up my mind from then on to work in a China enterprise in Malaysia, and I want to learn from Chinese’s working style and attitude."

  Atila’s four sisters have learned Chinese, which is of great help to their respective career development. "The bitterness I ate at the beginning is still very worthwhile in retrospect." After working in Guan Dan Industrial Park for more than a year, Atila’s greatest feeling is that "China and Malaysia are closer", because the "Belt and Road" construction has brought the two peoples closer in mind.

  Malaysia is willing to learn from the successful experience of China’s development in the new period.

  According to the plan, Guan Dan Industrial Park in Mazhong covers a total area of nearly 12 square kilometers, consisting of a production and processing area, a scientific and technological research and development area, a trade and logistics area, a leisure and tourism area and a living service area, which will be carried out in two phases. The infrastructure construction progress of the first phase project is over half, and the second phase project will start in the second half of this year. At present, there are 11 contracted projects, covering automobile tires, aluminum profile processing, petrochemical, cogeneration and other fields, which will directly create nearly 20 thousand employment opportunities for the local area.

  Ten kilometers to the southeast of the industrial park is Guan Dan Port facing the South China Sea of China, and ships from here can reach Qinzhou Port in Guangxi, China in only three days. With the deepening of trade with China, the throughput of Guan Dan Port increased steadily in 2017, reaching 17.46 million tons. After the joint steel project is fully put into production, it is estimated that it will contribute 12.3 million tons of throughput to Guan Dan Port every year. Ports, industries and parks constitute a benign development pattern of win-win and interaction.

  On the other side of the "two countries and two parks", China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park is shifting from infrastructure construction to comprehensive industrial layout. Malaysian enterprises have invested and built a series of development areas in Qinzhou Industrial Park in China, such as China-Malaysia International Science Park, Malaysia Innovation City and China-Union New Energy Industrial Park.

  In an interview with this reporter during the day, China’s ambassador to Malaysia believed that the industrial structures of China and Malaysia are highly complementary, so Chinese-funded enterprises coming to Malaysia to invest and start businesses should find their own positions in the industrial chain, cooperate to realize complementary advantages, and constantly improve the degree of localized operation, stimulate local employment and promote local economic development.

  Small and medium-sized enterprises have great development potential in bilateral economic and trade cooperation. In February this year, the Embassy of China in Malaysia held the "2018 China-Malaysia SME Cooperation Matchmaking Meeting", focusing on catering, wholesale logistics, modern agriculture, green energy, circular economy and other industries, attracting about 300 Chinese and Malaysian enterprises to participate. The matchmaking meeting took the form of "one-on-one" negotiation, and each China enterprise negotiated with two or three Malaysian enterprises, and conducted more than 200 negotiations. The matchmaking meeting finally reached 117 cooperation intentions, signed 9 cooperation memoranda on the spot, and reached 78 inspection intentions. During the day, he said that by strengthening the docking of small and medium-sized enterprises and complementing each other’s advantages, China-Malaysia economic and trade exchanges will be further promoted and the benefits of enterprises of the two countries will be expanded.

  Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said during his recent visit to China that Malaysia admired China’s miraculous independent development and praised China’s great achievements in industry and commerce. In the new era, Malaysia is willing to learn from the successful experience of China’s development, constantly innovate and create, and realize its greater development. China welcomes Malaysian enterprises to invest in Malaysia, deepen bilateral cooperation and better benefit the two peoples. He emphasized that the "One Belt, One Road" initiative proposed by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader is to promote regional exchanges and cooperation and will benefit all countries in the region. Malaysia supports and is willing to actively participate in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", which is believed to be conducive to regional development and prosperity.

  Guan Dan Industrial Park in Mazhong is a pilot demonstration project of "One Belt, One Road" jointly built by China and Malaysia. I believe that with the joint efforts of China and Malaysia, more projects will bear fruit and bring tangible benefits to the people of the two countries.

Build a solid defense line and build an "epidemic-free" home

Nucleic acid detection point of Hangyang old factory building in Wenhui street.

Chang ‘an Minsheng Logistics staff conducted nucleic acid sampling on the outer packaging of imported parts.

There are no outsiders in epidemic prevention and control.

At present, the epidemic situation in COVID-19 is still "multi-distributed", and the pressure of "external defense input and internal defense rebound" in our city is still great. The whole city took active actions to create a series of "epidemic-free units" such as epidemic-free shopping malls, epidemic-free markets, epidemic-free transportation, epidemic-free enterprises, epidemic-free hospitals, epidemic-free schools, epidemic-free construction sites, epidemic-free logistics, epidemic-free buildings (parks), etc., to achieve the smallest unit prevention and control, and strive to build a "epidemic-free" home and build a better life together.

Epidemic-free building

Building a "unit door" for epidemic prevention and control in Shangcheng

"Please wear a mask when entering or leaving the city, and take the initiative to show your health code and itinerary card …" At the entrance of Wu Shan Flower and Bird City in Shangcheng District, an aunt wearing a red vest and holding a megaphone stood beside the property security guard, constantly reminding the citizens entering and leaving. She is 75-year-old Lu Yafang, a branch secretary of Qinghefang community and one of the oldest "goalkeepers".

Under the mobilization of Lu Yafang, more than 20 retired party member in the community also actively joined the team and participated in shift duty. Qingbo Street actively builds a "unit door" and builds an epidemic-free defense line-every commercial building, market and community has an invisible "unit door". At present, the street has mobilized 17 community comprehensive party committees, 564 corridor leaders and district leaders, as well as building "goalkeepers" scattered in various office buildings and markets to participate in the creation of "epidemic-free units".

Epidemic-free site

Gongshu completed nucleic acid testing for more than 60,000 construction site personnel in one day.

"You don’t have to go to the hospital, just scan the health code, and you can do nucleic acid at the door of our construction site. We have almost finished it. Come here when you are finished, and you can work hard after testing!" On the morning of March 16th, at the construction site of Class 42 primary school project in plot GS0301-A33-07 of Qinglong Xiaohe Unit, Lao Wang Gang, a worker in his fifties, immediately called the workers in the nearby construction site after he finished the throat swab sampling and nucleic acid detection.

In addition to setting up temporary nucleic acid detection points on the construction site, Gongshu streets use small parks, gymnasiums and other public places to set up "green channels" for nucleic acid detection for busy construction site personnel day and night in their respective jurisdictions to help them complete sampling conveniently and quickly and devote themselves to urban construction with peace of mind. By 15: 30 on March 16th, more than 60,000 construction workers in 317 construction sites in Gongshu District had all completed nucleic acid testing.

Epidemic-free park

Qiantang ran out of the acceleration of automobile and parts industry development.

Auto parts imported from abroad are first transported to an independent area for disinfection and testing by the logistics company responsible for transshipment in the park, and then transported to the factory after being confirmed to be safe; Enterprises in the park that provide spare parts supply strictly control the factory area, workers and logistics vehicles according to epidemic prevention requirements … Facing the current epidemic situation, Qiantang District has been built around the "epidemic-free unit", running out of the development acceleration of the automobile and spare parts industry with the "epidemic-free industrial chain".

The reporter saw in Qianjin Zhizaoyuan Changan Minsheng Logistics Co., Ltd. that a container truck full of goods drove into the company’s disinfection center, and the truck slowly passed the portal at the entrance, and the spraying equipment above automatically sprayed disinfectant to disinfect the surface of the car body. After the first-level disinfection, the vehicle turns left and enters the unloading area. After opening the container unloading door, the staff will carry out the second-level disinfection of the door. After unpacking and taking things, the unloaded goods will be sterilized in three levels with the minimum package as the unit. "These are all auto parts shipped from abroad, just in case. After disinfection, we have to carry out nucleic acid testing, and the test is negative before transportation." The relevant person in charge of Changan Minsheng Logistics said.

Wuyi village she

Yuhang set up a floor chief to build a minimum "sentry post"

"The floor chiefs are very patient and the community organizations are powerful. It is very convenient for us to go downstairs for testing." In the past two days, Tongyun Community of Liangzhu Street in Yuhang District has carried out nucleic acid testing in an orderly manner. At the scene, the floor leaders led volunteers to set up a service team to maintain order, scan codes and guide testing.

In the epidemic prevention and control, the village community is the main battlefield, the community and grid are the responsibility areas, and the corridor is the key point. In the establishment of the "epidemic-free unit", Yuhang set up 2,454 corridor (building, district) leaders, who were responsible for arranging household information, publicizing epidemic prevention knowledge, helping isolated residents to purchase materials, and guarding the entrance and exit of the community, and became the backbone of serving the masses and assisting community work. For example, Yun Lv, the corridor leader of Building 22, Xinnanhu Green Garden, Shige Community, Zhongtai Street, inspects 52 shops and 3 enterprises on Shuita Road every day; Liang Xinmin, the head of three corridors in Cuiguyuan Community, Qiaotou Community, Jingshan Town, carried out nearly six or seven hours of "knocking on the door" to help with epidemic prevention propaganda and inspection.

Xiaoshan sets up a party building alliance to build a "red defense line"

"Secretary Hong, why are you here?" At 6 o’clock on the evening of March 15th, the nucleic acid self-test screening point of Dehui Apartment in Chenhui Community, Shushan Street, Xiaoshan District was officially launched, welcoming the first batch of testing people. In the crowd, many people recognized Hong Guobiao, the secretary of Jinxi Village, who helped maintain order at the point.

Shushan street gives full play to the strength of the party building alliance, adopts the mode of pairing villages and communities, and gathers strength to implement the epidemic prevention responsibility of the smallest unit. Among them, Jinxi Village and Chenhui Community are such a pair of party building alliances. Up to now, 30 village communities in Shushan Street have completed the pairing of party building alliances, unified deployment of manpower and material resources, coordinated personnel guidance, order maintenance, household notification and other work, and smoothly promoted various emergency work during the epidemic prevention and control period.

Lin’ an achieved "due inspection and complete inspection" 25 hours ahead of schedule.

At 23 o’clock on the evening of March 16th, with the last subject completing the nucleic acid sampling, on the first day of the establishment of the "epidemic-free unit", Lin ‘an District completed 501,100 nucleic acid tests, and added 141,000 people who had been tested in 48 hours, a total of 642,100 nucleic acid samples were completed. It is 25 hours ahead of schedule to achieve the goal of "complete detection" of nucleic acid detection in the whole region in 48 hours.

In the equipment of nucleic acid sampling force, one medical staff is responsible for sampling, and two non-medical staff are responsible for information input and auxiliary sampling, which not only ensures the efficient and coordinated promotion of sampling in the assembly line operation, but also allows more medical staff to work in more important and professional positions accurately. In addition, many warm-hearted measures, such as shuttle bus, love seat, "on-site inspection" and "on-board inspection", have been innovatively introduced in all parts of Lin ‘an, which has made the establishment of "epidemic-free unit" humanized and high-quality "should be inspected and checked" in the process of implementation.

More than 3,000 warm-hearted volunteers in Jiande serve the "epidemic line"

"My time is fine." Since Fudong Community of Xin ‘anjiang Street issued the party member Volunteer Recruitment Order, less than two hours later, more than 200 enthusiastic people working in party member have signed up to respond. Since March 15th, jiande city has set up 186 sampling site, dispatched more than 1,000 medical personnel and recruited more than 3,000 volunteers, so as to ensure the orderly development of nucleic acid detection by regions and time periods.

Because some villages are far away from the detection point, the disabled and the elderly are inconvenient to move. Villages and towns such as Yangcunqiao Town, Dayang Town and Qintang Township have also set up a "warm heart" volunteer service team on the spot to take charge of the shuttle service for the round-trip detection.

There are seven categories of "Gang Gang" in Dongzhou, Fuyang

"Hello, please show me your health code and keep a distance of one meter!" Xu Hongshen, a volunteer from party member wearing a red vest, is maintaining order at the sampling point of nucleic acid detection in Dongzhou Village, Dongzhou Street, Fuyang. At the sampling point of Dongzhou Village, each column has a group of volunteers with red vests, which is the "one team, one post" and "helping posts" specially set up in sampling points of Dongzhou Street in various villages.

"In the early stage, the anti-epidemic volunteers we organized were mostly randomly deployed at the collection site, which was often inefficient. Now, through the accurate work system of’ helping the gang’, the work efficiency of volunteers has been greatly improved. " The person in charge of the sampling point in Dongzhou Village said. It is reported that seven categories of Dongzhou Street, such as anti-epidemic propaganda, temperature measurement and code scanning, order maintenance, information registration, coordination and communication, special crowd escort and logistics support, are all set up with a "gang gang", which is managed and trained by the team leader in a unified way, and the volunteers in shifts can work at the scene.

(New Year’s experience) Reunion of Taiwan Province youth Spring Festival: I hope cross-strait exchanges will be smoother

  China news agency, Beijing, January 28 th: Reunion of Taiwan Province youth Spring Festival: I hope cross-strait exchanges will be smoother

  China News Service reporter Zhang Xiaotong

  This year’s Lunar New Year is a reunion year that many people have been looking forward to for a long time. Taiwan Province youths who have worked hard in the mainland for many years have returned to Taiwan for the New Year and reunited with their relatives and friends. In an interview with a reporter from China News Service, they expressed their expectation that cross-strait exchanges will be smoother and more convenient in the future.

  Zhang Yuzhong: Reunion with family and tasting hometown food

  Zhang Yuzhong, from Taichung, Taiwan Province, is a "drifting north" youth. Two years ago, due to the epidemic, he stayed in Beijing for the Spring Festival. This year, he finally had the opportunity to return home to reunite with his family.

  "We will post Spring Festival couplets, set off firecrackers, send red envelopes, and go to the temple for a walk, but the New Year’s Eve may be a little different. For example, in Taiwan Province, we will eat a dish called mullet roe, which is a unique food." Zhang Yuzhong said that during the Chinese New Year in Beijing, he would also have an appointment to eat Taiwanese food with friends, but the feeling of returning to his hometown to taste local food is still irreplaceable.

  On New Year’s Eve, Zhang Yuzhong had dinner with relatives and friends at home and enjoyed a hard-won reunion. During the Spring Festival holiday, he traveled with his family. "Actually, I want to stay at home longer, but my mother is a little ‘ Be in a panic ’ Then go out for a walk together. "

  In Zhang Yuzhong’s view, this year’s Spring Festival is particularly strong and has a sense of "global Chinese reunion". Not only did he fly back to Taiwan Province from the mainland, but many of his childhood friends also returned to their hometown for the New Year from the United States, Canada or other places, so it was rare for everyone to get together.

  "It feels really different, plus the weather in Taiwan Province is very good, and everyone gets together and the atmosphere is great." He said that after the holiday, he would stay in Taiwan Province for a while, and then he would return to the mainland to continue his work. "I hope the flight will be smoother then," he said.

  Guo Xueyun: I found interesting differences in wrapping red envelopes for my parents

  Guo Xueyun, a "Taipei girl", finally returned to her family this year after several years of Spring Festival in Beijing. "It is always very happy to see my family, which is a familiar feeling. I will also go to see what convenience stores are selling in Taiwan Province and what restaurants are popular now."

  Guo Xueyun’s flight back to Taiwan Province during the Chinese New Year was generally smooth, but because many Taiwan Province friends who worked in the mainland chose to go back to Taiwan for the Chinese New Year, the price of flights between the two sides was higher.

  "Because my family is not a very traditional family, that is, everyone has a meal on New Year’s Eve." Guo Xueyun said, however, this year she specially wrapped a red envelope for her parents to show her filial piety.

  "I found it very interesting that in Taiwan Province, we would give red envelopes to our parents, but it seems that this is not the case in mainland China." She also communicated with her friends and found that it is a common practice in Taiwan Province to wrap red envelopes for others after work, and to express her feelings to the elders. However, in mainland China, red envelopes seem to be mostly given to the younger generation.

  Guo Xuejun also said that there is a strong atmosphere of Chinese New Year in Taiwan Province. During the Spring Festival, many shops are closed, there are many firecrackers outside, and the New Year’s Eve dinner is more abundant than usual.

  She also observed some changes, including meeting more people talking about their work and life in the mainland on the street, and visiting the night market will also find vendors selling mainland snacks.

  After the holiday, Guo Xueyun will return to Beijing. "Cross-strait relations are very close, so the demand for exchanges is also high." She said that she hopes that there will be more opportunities for young people to communicate with each other in the future, and that there will be more flights to make it convenient for everyone to travel and go home.

  Huang Baixiang: I hope that the warm Spring Festival will be smooth.

  Huang Baixiang, who works in financial leasing in Beijing, returned to his hometown of Kaohsiung in the New Year. He is very excited. "I am working in the mainland, and I am very happy to come back to see my parents and experience the taste of Taiwan Province. My family is also very happy to see me."

  "The weather in southern Taiwan Province is warmer and the annual flavor is very strong. I will go to the temple during the New Year ‘ Bye bye ’ Wait. Like my family, I will also have dinner together and watch TV programs. In fact, it is quite similar to the mainland. " Huang Baixiang said.

  Besides reuniting with his family, Huang Baixiang also met many old friends when he returned to Taiwan Province this time. "Many friends in Taiwan Province are asking when they can go to the mainland, including travel, work, etc. I see that many people are looking forward to cross-strait exchanges." He said.

  Huang Baixiang also told reporters that the flight back to Taiwan Province was more tense and the ticket price was higher than before, but the ticket purchase process was smooth. "I hope that more flights can be opened in the future to facilitate the round-trip between the two sides. It is always a good thing to communicate and communicate more conveniently. "

Strong winds in the north hit Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and other places, and local gusts of 10 meteorological experts analyzed the causes.

CCTV News:Affected by cold air, some parts of the north have strong winds. According to meteorological monitoring, there are 7 ~ 9 gusts in central Inner Mongolia, northern Ningxia, Shanxi, western Henan, western Hebei, western Beijing, western Liaoning and central Shandong, and the local wind power reaches 10. Why is the gale in the north so strong this time? When will the gale last? Let’s look at the analysis of experts from the Central Meteorological Observatory.

Chen Tao, chief forecaster of the Central Meteorological Observatory:Generally speaking, cold air is more active in autumn and winter, which is prone to windy weather. This round of windy weather has a wide range and strong intensity, and the wind in some areas is extremely extreme in North China and Huanghuai. This time, the cold air force affecting our country is relatively strong, and there are cyclones developing in Bohai area, which will cause a large pressure gradient between high and low pressure, which will cause the air to flow in a large range and form windy weather; The second reason is that today (October 9), the turbulent mixing at high and low altitude is relatively strong and the wind speed at high altitude is relatively high. This turbulent mixing will also lead to further increase of the wind near the ground; The third feature is that there will be some valleys or canyons in some parts of North China and Huanghuai areas, which will cause the narrow tube effect of fluid and further accelerate the airflow, forming local strong winds. Today is the strongest day under the influence of windy weather, mainly concentrated in the area from North China to Huanghuai, especially in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Henan and Shandong, where the wind is still relatively strong, and there will be 5 ~ 6 winds generally, and the gust wind can reach 9 or even 10 or more. On the 10th, cold air continued to move eastward, and windy weather mainly appeared in parts of the eastern part of Northeast China.

Strong convective weather warning: There are thunderstorms or hail in some areas such as Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu and Shanghai.

  Cctv newsThe Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a blue warning of severe convective weather at 10: 00 on September 19:

  It is estimated that from 14: 00 on September 19 to 14: 00 on September 20, there will be 8-10 thunderstorms or hail weather in parts of western Shandong, central and eastern Henan, central and southern Anhui, eastern Jiangsu, Shanghai, northern and southern Hubei, northwestern Jiangxi, northern Zhejiang, southeastern Sichuan, southwestern Chongqing and western Yellow Sea, and the local wind will exceed 11; There will be short-term heavy rainfall in parts of southern Qinghai, south-central Shaanxi, south-central Shandong, central and eastern Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Hubei, northern and western Hunan, central and eastern Sichuan, Chongqing, south-central Yunnan, etc. The maximum hourly rainfall is 30-60 mm, and the local area can reach more than 70 mm.

  It is estimated that the main influence period of strong convection is from this afternoon to night.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin held a regular press conference on May 12, 2023.

At the invitation of Ding Xuexiang, Vice Premier of The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) and the State Council, Singaporean Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Huang Xuncai will visit China from May 13th to 17th.

At the invitation of State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang, Sierra Leonean Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Francis will pay an official visit to China from May 15th to 18th.

Agence France-Presse: According to official reports, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee, had a meeting with Sullivan, assistant to the President of the United States, for more than eight hours, but only two short statements were issued. I have two questions: first, does this mean that the two sides have failed to reach an agreement on any key issues? Second, have the two sides discussed the possibility of holding a higher-level meeting during the upcoming G-7 summit?

Wang Wenbin: Regarding the meeting between Director Wang Yi and Sullivan, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Affairs, China has released a press release. On May 10th and 11th, local time, Wang Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and director of the Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee, met with Sullivan, Assistant to the President of the United States for National Security Affairs. The two sides held frank, in-depth, substantive and constructive discussions on promoting Sino-US relations to remove obstacles, stop falling and stabilize. Wang Yi comprehensively expounded China’s solemn position on the Taiwan Province issue. The two sides also exchanged views on the Asia-Pacific situation, Ukraine and other international and regional issues of common concern. Both sides agreed to continue to make good use of this strategic communication channel.

Xinhua News Agency: China has announced that Eritrean President Isaias will visit China. Can you tell us about the visit arrangements and China’s expectations? How does China view the current Sino-Eritrean relations?

Wang Wenbin: Eritrea is an important country in the Horn of Africa. China and Ecuador are traditionally friendly. In 2022, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader and President Isaias jointly decided to upgrade China-Ecuador relations to a strategic partnership. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Ecuador. At present, political mutual trust between the two countries continues to deepen, pragmatic cooperation has yielded fruitful results, and close communication and cooperation have been maintained in international and regional affairs.

During President Isaias’ visit to China, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader will hold a welcoming ceremony and banquet for President Isaias, and the two heads of state will hold talks. Premier Li Qiang will meet with President Isaias. It is believed that President Isaias’ visit will inject new impetus into the all-round and in-depth development of China-Ecuador relations and promote the continuous progress of friendly cooperation between the two countries.

TASS news agency reporter: The EU Asia-Pacific Ministerial Forum will be held in Stockholm, Sweden on May 13th. It is reported that the forum includes not only green and inclusive development, but also Russian-related issues. Will State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang attend?

Wang Wenbin: Asia-Pacific is a hot spot for cooperation and development, not a geopolitical chess game. Any regional cooperation framework should conform to the trend of peace and development, enhance mutual trust and cooperation among regional countries, and embody openness, transparency and tolerance, instead of clinging to outdated Cold War mentality and drawing ideological lines to provoke division and confrontation.

China News Service reporter: It is reported that China and the United States recently held a ceremony to return the cultural relics lost in China in new york. The United States returned two stone couches with a screen from the Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty in China. What is China’s comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: On the afternoon of May 9th, local time, authorized by National Cultural Heritage Administration, China, the Consulate General of China in new york held a handover ceremony with the Attorney’s Office of Manhattan District, new york, USA. The US handed over two important lost cultural relics from China to the China government. This is the fifth time that the functional departments of the US government have returned the lost cultural relics to China in recent years, which is another cooperation between the two countries in the field of cultural heritage. It is understood that after the ceremony, China has begun to arrange related matters of cultural relics return.

China has always been committed to cracking down on and preventing the smuggling of cultural relics and protecting the common cultural heritage of mankind by expanding intergovernmental cooperation. We are willing to work with all countries in the world, including the United States, to further increase exchanges and cooperation in the field of cultural heritage protection.

Reuters reporter: Can you confirm that Chinese Ambassador to France Lu Shaye will be recalled on May 15th?

Wang Wenbin: What you mentioned is false news.

People’s Daily reporter: We have noticed that the Bruggaier Institute, a European think tank, recently released a report saying that the "Belt and Road Initiative" has withstood multiple challenges and tests in the past decade and has been widely praised around the world, especially in developing countries. What is China’s comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: We have taken note of the relevant report you mentioned. The report extracts data from mainstream media reports in nearly 150 countries, and on this basis, makes a quantitative analysis of the attention and emotional orientation of global public opinion on the "Belt and Road". According to the report, most regions in the world hold a very positive view of China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

The key to the popularity of the "One Belt, One Road" initiative put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader is to always adhere to the principle of mutual consultation, joint construction and sharing. China has never imposed its own ideas on others, let alone smuggled geopolitical goods. As an open and inclusive platform for international cooperation, the Belt and Road Initiative promotes not the kind of globalization that only serves a few countries, but a more inclusive, inclusive and balanced global common development. In the face of facts, any lies and fallacies that discredit the "Belt and Road Initiative" and China’s cooperation with the co-construction countries will be shattered.

China will hold the third "Belt and Road" international cooperation summit forum this year. We will take this opportunity to work with the international community to sum up experience and draw a blueprint, continuously improve the level of building the "Belt and Road" with high quality, inject new kinetic energy and convey new hope for the world economic recovery and global sustainable development.

CCTV reporter: China has previously announced that it will send a special representative of the China government for Eurasian affairs to visit Ukraine and other countries. Can the spokesman elaborate on the situation?

Wang Wenbin: From May 15th, Ambassador AARON Li, Special Representative of the China Government for Eurasian Affairs, will visit Ukraine, Poland, France, Germany and Russia to communicate with all parties on the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

Since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, China has always adhered to an objective and fair position and actively persuaded peace and promoted talks. The "four shoulds", "four commonalities" and "three thoughts" put forward by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader are the fundamental follow-up for China to deal with the Ukrainian issue. On this basis, China issued the document "China’s Position on the Political Settlement of the Ukrainian Crisis", which embodies the above-mentioned core ideas, absorbs the legitimate concerns of all parties and has been widely understood and recognized by the international community. The visit of Chinese representatives to relevant countries is another manifestation of China’s commitment to persuading peace and promoting talks, which fully shows that China firmly stands on the side of peace.

At present, the Ukrainian crisis is still escalating, and the spillover effect continues to appear. The international community is increasingly calling for a ceasefire and easing the situation. China is willing to continue to play a constructive role, build more international consensus on ceasing fire, starting peace talks and avoiding escalation of the situation, so as to make China contribution to the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.

Reuters: Can you confirm that State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang will visit Australia in July?

Wang Wenbin: China and Australia maintain contact and communication at all levels. I have no information to offer about the matter you mentioned.

Beijing Daily reporter: State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang recently visited France. Can the spokesman brief us on the situation?

Wang Wenbin: On May 10th, local time, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang held talks with French Foreign Minister Collonna in Paris, and held consultations with the leaders of the high-level exchange mechanism between China and France. During the visit, State Councilor Qin Gang also met with Bona, foreign affairs adviser to the French President, and unveiled the "China House" in the Paris International University Town.

State Councilor Qin Gang said that President Macron’s state visit to China was a complete success. The two heads of state unanimously agreed to take the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France next year as an opportunity to comprehensively restart exchanges and cooperation in the fields of culture, education, science and technology, and push Sino-French relations to a new level. China is willing to work with France to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, accelerate exchanges and cooperation in various fields, and promote the continuous development of a close and lasting comprehensive strategic partnership between China and France.

State Councilor Qin Gang pointed out that China and France, as ancient countries with splendid civilizations, have the responsibility to promote mutual respect and tolerance among cultural civilizations, eliminate estrangement and prejudice, and sow the seeds of peace in the hearts of people all over the world. This is also the original intention of the Supreme Leader’s Chairman’s global civilization initiative. The two sides should make good use of the high-level exchange mechanism for other people’s languages, further deepen cultural exchanges between the two countries and enhance mutual understanding among the people. It is suggested that the two sides focus on promoting cooperation in sports, education, language, scientific and technological innovation and tourism.

State Councilor Qin Gang emphasized that China has always regarded Europe as a comprehensive strategic partner, supported Europe to strengthen its strategic autonomy and play an active role in the international arena, and advocated that China-EU relations should not be directed against, attached to or controlled by a third party. China, France and China should achieve win-win cooperation in expanding two-way opening up and build a more stable and mutual trust China-EU supply chain partnership.

French Foreign Minister Collonna said that France-China relations are of vital importance, and the two heads of state have made clear the direction. Both sides should make joint efforts to promote greater development of bilateral relations. It is suggested that the two sides comprehensively restart cooperation mechanisms in various fields. France is willing to work with China to plan the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. The French side attaches importance to its economic relations with China, believing that such relations are interdependent, mutually beneficial, complementary, open and transparent. The French side does not engage in camp confrontation and believes that all countries should live in harmony and develop together. China plays an important role in world peace and stability, and France is willing to strengthen communication with China on major international and regional issues and seek more common ground.

China Journal reporter: Not long ago, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress passed the "China is not a developing country bill", demanding that the United States and the State Council exert influence on international organizations to cancel China’s status as a developing country. Recently, the United States will propose another resolution to oppose China’s status as a developing country in the WTO. Some commentators believe that this move by the United States is to put its domestic law above international law in order to suppress and contain China. What is the spokesman’s response to this?

Wang Wenbin: China is recognized by all as the largest developing country. The United States wants to send China a "developed country" hat. Sorry, China can’t wear this hat.

As a developing country, China has sufficient factual basis. In 2022, China’s per capita GDP was US$ 12,741, which was 1/5 of that of developed economies and only 1/6 of that of the United States. In 2021, the per capita gross national income of China ranks 68th in the world, and the human development index ranks 79th in the world, which is equivalent to that of major developing countries.

China is a developing country with a solid foundation in international law. China’s status as a developing country has been recognized by international treaties including the mechanism of the World Trade Organization, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, and has been accepted by the vast number of members of the international community. China’s status as a developing country cannot be denied.

For a long time, China has fought side by side with the developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America in the struggle for national liberation, and supported each other in the process of promoting national development, vividly explaining what a friend in need is. The two sides have long been a community of shared destiny. China will never join the "rich club" in the west, and will always work with developing countries to strive for common rights and safeguard common interests. As the Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out, China will always be a member of the big family of developing countries.

I would also like to emphasize that maintaining the status of a developing country is China’s legitimate right. China does not regard developing country status as a "shield" to evade international responsibilities or a "stepping stone" to obtain special preferential treatment, but actively makes more China contributions to promoting world peace and development. From 2013 to 2021, the average contribution rate of China to the world economic growth was 38.6%, which was higher than the sum of the contribution rates of the G7 countries. China took the lead in achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals, contributing more than 70% to world poverty reduction, and has become the second largest contributor to the UN and the second largest contributor to peacekeeping. In the WTO, the terms of special and differential treatment actually enjoyed by China are far below the average level of developing countries.

Whether China belongs to a developing country is not up to the United States. The United States has spread all kinds of false arguments and tried to deny China’s status as a developing country. Its real intention is nothing more than suppressing and containing China’s development space, making China shoulder the burden and responsibility, provoking friendly relations between China and developing countries, and interfering with and delaying the momentum of the group rise of developing countries. But China and the developing countries will not be taken in by the United States. China will firmly safeguard its status as a developing country, vigorously deepen solidarity and cooperation with developing countries, unswervingly strive to improve the representation and voice of developing countries in the international governance system, and firmly defend their legitimate rights and interests.

Hubei Radio and Television reporter: It is reported that Japanese Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng and NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg confirmed in media interviews that the two sides are holding consultations on NATO’s opening a liaison office in Japan. What is China’s comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: NATO has repeatedly stated publicly that its position as a regional alliance has not changed and it does not seek a geographical breakthrough. The Asia-Pacific region does not belong to the geographical category of the North Atlantic, and there is no need to establish an Asia-Pacific version of "NATO". However, NATO has continuously strengthened its relations with Asia-Pacific countries, persistently moved eastward into the Asia-Pacific region, intervened in regional affairs, and provoked camp confrontation. What is its intention? This has aroused the high vigilance of the international community, especially countries in the Asia-Pacific region. I hope that relevant parties will not undermine regional peace and stability by seeking so-called geographical interests.

At the same time, the outside world is also very concerned about whether Japan really wants to act as NATO’s "Asia-Pacific" Depth Charge. Asia is a highland of peace and stability, a hot spot for cooperation and development, and should not be a arena for geopolitical competition. Due to the history of modern militaristic aggression, Japan’s military security trend has always been concerned by Asian neighbors and the international community. We urge Japan to earnestly learn from the lessons of history, adhere to the path of peaceful development, and not do anything that undermines mutual trust among countries in the region and undermines regional peace and stability.

Reporter: According to reports, people familiar with the matter said that G7 member countries will announce a joint response to economic coercion in order to send a signal to China. What is China’s comment on this?

Wang Wenbin: When it comes to economic coercion, I’m afraid the United States is the first one who should be condemned. The United States has repeatedly generalized the concept of national security, abused export control measures, and adopted discriminatory and unfair practices against enterprises in other countries, which seriously violated the principles of market economy and fair competition.

According to media reports, from 2000 to 2021, US foreign sanctions increased by 933%. The Trump administration alone has implemented more than 3,900 sanctions in four years, which is equivalent to waving a "sanctions stick" three times a day on average. By fiscal year 2021, the United States has imposed more than 9,400 sanctions. The United States has imposed unilateral economic sanctions on nearly 40 countries in the world, affecting nearly half of the global population.

In fact, other members of the G-7 are not immune to the economic coercion and bullying of the United States. Toshiba in Japan, Siemens in Germany, Alstom in France and other enterprises have all been the targets of US suppression. If the G7 summit wants to put "dealing with economic coercion" on the agenda, I suggest that we can discuss what the United States has done first. When hosting the G7 Summit, can Japan express some concerns to the US on behalf of other member countries that are also bullied by the US? Or at least tell the truth?

China itself is a victim of economic coercion by the United States, and we have always resolutely opposed economic coercion by other countries. We urge the G-7 to conform to the trend of openness and tolerance, stop engaging in closed and exclusive "small circles" and stop being accomplices and accomplices in economic coercion.

Chinese fast food in the cracks: white-collar workers spit too much, and restaurant companies don’t earn much.

  Can you get an affordable and delicious working meal when you work in an office building in the business district every day?

  In recent years, with the rise of the new consumption track, new modes such as on-site frying, weighing and self-selection, and small bowls of vegetables have been born, and Chinese fast food has become the choice of many office workers.

  The Red Star Capital Bureau noted that according to the data of "Consumer Behavior Preference for Chinese Fast Food Consumption" released by Euromonitor International in September 2020, the proportion of white-collar office workers in the whole Chinese fast food consumption population was as high as 46%.

  In this context, many Chinese fast food chain brands have emerged in the industry, such as Country Base, Mr. Rice, Country Chicken, Kung Fu, King Yonghe, Shunwangji, Old Uncle and so on.

  With the rapid development of Chinese fast food brands, recently, online consumers’ comments that Chinese fast food is too expensive have also aroused many people’s discussion and resonance.

  Urban office workers

  Can’t afford Chinese fast food?

  Under the general trend of consumption upgrading, Chinese fast food is developing towards healthy cooking food, on-site cooking methods, brand characteristics and leisure dining environment.

  Convenience, quickness, health and a good environment … may be the reason why many office workers choose Chinese fast food.

  Is Chinese fast food expensive?

  Due to the differences in economic development levels in different regions, Red Star Capital Bureau mainly selects popular Chinese fast food brands in Shanghai and Chengdu, and calculates them according to the standard of one person, one meat, one vegetable and one soup.

  In Shanghai, 42 yuan’s meal stung the stomachs of office workers.

  In Shanghai, Red Star Capital Bureau selected three popular dishes of Chinese fast food head brands: Mr. Rice, Laoxiang Chicken and Kungfu.

  According to the standard of "one meat, one vegetable and one soup", Mr. Rice’s popular dishes are matched, and the price of a single meal is 36 yuan; The popular dishes of Laoxiang chicken are matched, and the price is in 46 yuan; The popular package price of real kung fu starts from 42 yuan.

  According to the standard of 42 yuan/Meal, if you calculate 22 working days a month, lunch will cost a total of 924 yuan, and if you add dinner to calculate two working meals a day, it will cost 1848 yuan.

  What kind of consumption level is this? According to the data published on the website of Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, the per capita disposable income of Shanghai urban residents in 2022 was 84,034 yuan, with an average of 7,003 yuan per month.

  Spending on working meals alone accounts for nearly 30% of disposable income.

  According to the per capita consumption expenditure, the per capita consumption expenditure of Shanghai urban residents in 2022 was 48,111 yuan, with an average of 4,009 yuan per month.

  According to the estimate of working meal expenditure of 1848 yuan/month, this expenditure accounts for nearly half of residents’ consumption expenditure.

  Two working meals a day in 42 yuan, the consumption in Shanghai is really not low.

  In Chengdu, 25 yuan’s working meals are also not cheap.

  In Chengdu, Red Star Capital Bureau selected three popular dishes of Chinese fast food head brands: Mr. Rice, Country Base and Shunwangji.

  Similarly, according to the standard of "one meat, one vegetable and one soup", Mr. Rice’s popular dishes are matched, and the price of a single meal is 25 yuan; The price of popular packages in rural areas is 24 yuan; Shunwangji popular products are matched, and the price is 29 yuan.

  On the whole, according to the standard of "one meat, one vegetable and one soup", the price of a Chinese fast food is between 20 and 30 yuan. According to the standard of 25 yuan/Meal, if you calculate 22 working days a month, you will need to spend 550 yuan for lunch, and 1100 yuan if you add two working meals a day for dinner.

  According to the data of Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Statistics, in 2022, the per capita disposable income of Chengdu urban residents was 54,897 yuan, with an average of 4,575 yuan per month.

  According to the estimate of working meal expenditure of 1100 yuan/month, this expenditure accounts for about a quarter of disposable income.

  According to the per capita consumption expenditure, in 2022, the per capita consumption expenditure of Chengdu urban residents was 32,171 yuan, with an average of 2,681 yuan per month.

  According to the estimate of working meal expenditure of 1100 yuan/month, this expenditure accounts for over 40% of residents’ consumption expenditure.

  Whether in Shanghai or Chengdu, it is really difficult to realize the freedom of Chinese fast food, and it is not difficult to understand why there is a discussion on the Internet about "I can’t afford Chinese fast food with a monthly income of 20,000".

  Office workers, the budget for eating is really not that high.

  According to the data of per capita consumption expenditure in 2022 released by the National Bureau of Statistics, residents spend about 30.5% of their consumption expenditure on food, tobacco and alcohol.

  According to this ratio, in 2022, the total expenditure of Shanghai urban residents on food, alcohol and tobacco will be about 1228 yuan/month, and that of Chengdu urban residents will be about 818 yuan/month.

  This also shows to some extent that most people don’t have that much budget for food.

  How do office workers view lunch consumption? The Red Star Capital Bureau has compiled relevant reports on white-collar workers’ budget for working meals in recent years, and "expensive" is the key word for white-collar workers to vomit.

  According to the survey report on the living conditions of white-collar workers in 2019 released by Zhaopin, more than 60% of the white-collar workers’ lunch expenses are controlled within 20 yuan, followed by the budget of 21-30 yuan, accounting for 27.64%. For working meals, affordability and satiety are the core requirements.

  According to the data of "China Catering Industry Development Status and Market Research and Analysis Report in 2022" released by Ai Media Consulting, among the acceptable prices of Chinese fast food for white-collar workers in China in 2021, 41.5% of the respondents chose 21-30 yuan (including 30 yuan) and 40.9% chose 10-20 yuan (including 20 yuan).

  It can be seen that below 30 yuan is the choice of most white-collar workers, while less than 4% of the respondents can accept the price of working meals above 40 yuan.

  In addition, according to the data of "China Catering Industry Development Status and Market Research and Analysis Report in 2022" released by Ai Media Consulting, in 2021, 54.5% of the white-collar workers in China thought that Chinese fast food needed improvement, and 50.5% chose price adjustment.

  In other words, more than half of the respondents think that the price of Chinese fast food is high and needs to be adjusted.

  Although "it feels expensive", many office workers have to choose "compromise" under various objective factors.

  According to the data of Consumer Behavior Preference for Chinese Fast Food released by Euromonitor International in September, 2020, the main reasons why consumers choose Chinese fast food are commuting, busy work and no time to cook.

  In this way, the budget is limited, and there is no time to cook by themselves. In the face of Chinese fast food that is not cheap, white-collar workers can only "unable to vomit".

  On the one hand, consumers are voicing that Chinese fast food is expensive and losing the freedom of Chinese fast food; On the other hand, Chinese food chains are also complaining, indicating that money is not easy to earn.

  Chinese fast food enterprises

  Low net profit rate

  According to public information, the average net interest rate of the old uncle, the old chicken and the rural base in the past three years is less than 4%. According to the data of China Hotel Association, the overall net profit rate of domestic catering industry is around 10%, and the net profit rate of Chinese fast food is obviously low.

  The reason why it is difficult to "make money" is that the "three mountains" of rent, raw materials and labor in the catering industry have overwhelmed enterprises.

  Most white-collar workers working in CBD office buildings have a short lunch break, and they can accept the scope of walking to the restaurant, which is basically concentrated in the shops on the first floor of the office building, or the negative floor of the shopping mall adjacent to the office building.

  Chain catering brands choose to open stores in such a place with a large flow of people and a fixed consumer base, and the store rent will inevitably not be low. Moreover, in order to provide diners with sufficient dining area, they open hundreds of square meters of stores.

  Doing business in such a land-intensive place naturally costs consumers. Narrow-door dining eye data shows that the craziest and most exaggerated people to open stores in shopping malls are Ma Jiyong, Hefulao Noodles and Chen Xianggui, who have more than 70% stores in shopping malls.

  Like Yoshinoya, a Japanese fast food brand, half of its stores are located in shopping malls, and 20.2% and 34.1% of its stores are located in shopping malls, which is already a low proportion of catering brands.

  Here, the Red Star Capital Bureau takes the rural base as an example to make a concrete analysis.

  According to the prospectus of the rural base, from 2019 to 2022, the revenue of the rural base was 3.257 billion yuan, 3.161 billion yuan, 4.618 billion yuan and 4.706 billion yuan respectively; In the same period, the net profit was RMB 80 million,-2.424 million, RMB 110 million and RMB 30 million respectively.

  Obviously, the net profit of an enterprise is like riding a "roller coaster". In 2020 and 2022, the profit will drop sharply, and in 2020, it will be in a state of loss.

  From the perspective of the cost of rural base, the prospectus shows that from 2019 to 2022, the above three costs of rural base all showed an increasing trend. In 2022, its raw materials and consumables, staff costs, property rent and related expenses were 2.02 billion yuan, 1.174 billion yuan and 132 million yuan respectively, accounting for 42.9%, 24.9% and 2.8% of the income in the same period respectively.

  In other words, for every income from 10 yuan, the rural base will spend more than 7 yuan’s money on raw materials, labor and rent.

  However, there are some reasons for the high cost. The mode of instant frying, which is the mainstay of Chinese fast food such as rural base, has raised the cost of raw materials and labor to a certain extent.

  At the same time, the direct marketing mode of rural base also makes its labor cost high. The data shows that by the end of 2022, there were 8,402 full-time employees and 1,740 part-time employees paid by the hour in rural areas.

  It can be seen that Chinese fast food represented by rural base is really difficult to make money.

  Will Chinese fast food chain brands that can’t make money improve their profitability by raising prices?

  If so, this may be another bad news for office workers.

  summarize

  Consumers are faced with Chinese fast food that is really not cheap, and catering enterprises are facing a situation of low profits, which also reflects the contradictions and difficulties faced by the Chinese fast food industry at present. Let office workers eat an affordable and delicious working meal, and all parties need to seek an optimal solution. (Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star Journalist Liu Wei)

10 kinds of healthy foods that nutritionists eat the most, which ones do you often eat?

The following article comes from nutritionist Gu Chuanling, and the author is nutritionist Gu Chuanling.

Nutritionist Gu Chuanling.

Author of "Guide to Scientific Pregnancy of Lilac Mother", director of the Capital Society of Health Care, Nutrition and Food, the first registered dietitian in China, and master of nutrition medicine, was awarded as "2022 brave young people in China who focused on knowledge popularization and escorted Chinese nutrition and health" by Southern Weekend. Focus on the nutrition of women and children, and accompany everyone to eat healthy and beautiful.

Some time ago, I wrote an article about 12 kinds of foods that nutritionists hardly buy or eat. Some friends asked me to share the N kinds of foods that my family eats the most. Teacher Gu handed in my homework, including staple food, fruits and vegetables, meat, eggs and milk beans, totaling 10 kinds. Let me talk about the reasons why I love them.

1. Oats

▲ Figure: Photo Network

My favorite whole grain is oatmeal, which is rich in β -glucan and swells with water, which can increase satiety, which is beneficial to weight control; In addition, its sticky state is also helpful to reduce the total cholesterol and "bad cholesterol" in the blood, and this benefit to blood lipids has been stamped and recognized by authoritative organizations in many countries.

In addition, its slippery taste is better than other whole grains, so I especially like oatmeal, and so do my children.

My favorite oats are instant oatmeal, raw oatmeal and whole oatmeal.

Although the GI of instant oatmeal is as high as 79, I still eat a lot of breakfast, because it is so convenient to eat it with boiled water and cold milk. I also cook an egg and blanch vegetables, so that my blood sugar can be controlled steadily after meals. When time permits, porridge will be cooked directly with raw oatmeal, and its GI is only 55.

2. Soymilk

▲ Figure: Photo Network

Soybean can not only supplement high-quality protein, but also supplement soybean isoflavones that can regulate estrogen in two directions and phytosterols that inhibit cholesterol absorption.

The dietary guidelines for China residents suggest eating 15-25g of soybeans every day. If tofu is not made, I will beat soybean milk. In order to save trouble, I will cook the beans and freeze them separately. When I want to drink them, I will put them directly into the soybean milk machine, add some nuts and add boiling water, and I can drink them in 3 minutes.

3. Spinach

▲ Figure: Photo Network

Among the green leafy vegetables, my spinach eats the most, and its lutein and zeaxanthin contents are among the best in vegetables. Lutein is the pigment with the most content in the macula of eyes, and its beta-carotene is also among the best in vegetables. Beta-carotene can be converted into vitamin A which is helpful for eye health, so spinach is really friendly to office workers who use our eyes seriously.

In addition, it is also rich in vitamin K which promotes calcium deposition, vitamin C which promotes iron absorption and collagen synthesis, and antioxidant α-tocopherol.

Spinach in spring is still very cheap. It is highly recommended that you eat it. Boiling water for 1 minute can be used for cold salad or soup. You can get very rich nutrition by eating 1-2 fists a day.

4. Little cherry tomatoes

▲ Figure: Photo Network

In order to control my weight, I seldom prepare unhealthy snacks, but I always keep small cherry tomatoes in my refrigerator. Compared with vegetables, they taste sweet and sour and are close to fruits. Compared with fruits, they have lower energy and sugar content. When I am tired from work or greedy, I will wash two handfuls to eat.

In addition, it is also rich in vitamin C, the content is 33 mg /100 g, and it is also rich in lycopene. Although the bioavailability is not as high as that of cooked food, just eat more when it is crushed.

5. Berries

▲ Figure: Photo Network

I really love strawberries, kiwis and blueberries. I eat strawberries almost every day in spring, but I often eat kiwis and blueberries in autumn and winter.

The first thing that conquers me and my baby is their taste, which is soft and sweet and sour. Who can not love it? Then talk about nutrition. Strawberries and kiwis are rich in vitamin C, and blueberries are rich in anthocyanins. Eat it every day, and the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects will be directly filled.

6. Walnuts

▲ Figure: Photo Network

I have almost no habit of eating nuts at ordinary times. Although I bought a small bottle of linseed oil at home, because my mother mainly cooks, she doesn’t like to use linseed oil, so the intake of α -linolenic acid that the human body can’t synthesize may not be enough, so I will put walnuts rich in α -linolenic acid when I make soybean milk.

Walnut is a walnut with a shell, which is peeled now, and the film inside will not be removed. In addition, the beans with soy milk are frozen. Although boiled water is added, the neutralization temperature is not high, so it will not destroy α -linolenic acid and antioxidant flavonoids.

7, pig hind leg meat

▲ Figure: Photo Network

Pig hind leg meat is the most eaten red meat in my family. Compared with most parts of meat, it has lower saturated fatty acid content, and the fat and lean meat are still very distinct. It is convenient to remove the fat on the surface when cooking. Although it is recommended to eat less red meat, lean pork is very iron-rich and vitamin B1. Considering that its price is more affordable than beef and mutton, it has no fishy smell, so my family eats it the most.

8, eggs

▲ Figure: Photo Network

One person and one egg every morning has become a dietary pattern in my family. Its protein is the most perfect among all foods, and its absorption and utilization rate is particularly high. The most common thing to eat is boiled eggs, but children don’t like egg yolks, so they will make custard for him and occasionally scramble eggs.

9. Milk

Besides eggs, milk is also a must for breakfast. Everyone drinks whole milk except me. I chose skim milk because my blood cholesterol was high some time ago and I was reluctant to waste egg yolk. Then I drank two packs of milk a day.

10. Norwegian blue and white fish

▲ Figure: Photo Network

Norwegian mackerel is also called Atlantic mackerel. I have recommended it many times before, and my love is right.

In terms of DHA content, the mackerel directly beats the salmon. The DHA content of the mackerel is 27% higher than that of the salmon, but the price is only half that of the salmon, which is particularly cost-effective! Simply fried, the taste is strong and the aroma is full. After eating it, it is really no longer greedy for other fish.

These are the 10 foods that nutritionists eat the most. Which ones do you often eat?

Shopping malls play cross-border horses and birds. Environmentalists: Not in favor of displaying animals.

  Some citizens said it was "good" and some citizens said it was "bad for animals"

  Recently, some citizens sent a message in a circle of friends saying, why can birds be kept in a shopping mall? And this shopping mall for experiential consumption display is Guangzhou Fashion Tianhe Commercial Plaza. Is it good to keep birds and horses in the mall? Some citizens think that this kind of display is quite interesting, but others say that shopping malls are too noisy and not good for animals.

  Text, Figure/Guangzhou Daily All-Media Reporter Zhang Lu, Du Juan

  Visit:

  Two peacocks in the central area of the shopping mall attract attention

  Yesterday, the reporter visited Guangzhou Fashion Tianhe Commercial Plaza and found that there was a big birdcage where fake dinosaurs were placed in the central area. There were more than ten birds in the cage, the most conspicuous of which were two peacocks. Most of the time, they stood quietly on the fake tree with their backs to tourists, leaving people with a back.

  Miss Wu, who handed out leaflets near the birdcage, said, "I saw peacocks here last year. Shopping malls are shopping malls. Why should we get some animals?" It’s noisy here, which is not good for animals. They are all listless, so it’s better to put them back in the zoo. "

  The reporter found that the music of the surrounding businesses was loud and the environment was very noisy. Most of the tourists passing by just picked up their mobile phones to take some photos and left in less than a few minutes.

  Mr. Chen, a tourist who is looking at the peacock, said: "I passed by here before, and I didn’t know what it was because of the lack of light and the distance." Today, I took a closer look and found that there are peacocks here. The idea of putting peacocks here is still good and interesting. But they are not very active, and they have not seen the screen for a long time. " Mr. Chen suggested that the fake dinosaur next to it is quite good, and it is good to put some static things in the shopping mall. After all, everyone will not stay here for a long time.

  Experience:

  When the mall smells of horses and birds, it smells good.

  The reporter visited and found that there are not only peacocks in the fashion Tianhe, but also animals in two places. Two rows of bird cages, three on each side, were placed in the aisle at the entrance of the Sweet Turn Restaurant in Zhongwu Street, and a white bird was placed in each cage, totaling six birds. These six cages are all on the table, and chairs are also provided beside the table for tourists to interact with the birds in their leisure time. In contrast, birds are more active and can be heard from time to time.

  Visitors sitting here for a rest have teased birds, sat playing with mobile phones, and picked up selfie sticks to take photos with caged birds.

  When we reached the middle of Zhonger Street and Zhongwu Street, a bad smell came from the nose. It turned out that someone had brought the horse and was cleaning it up. The staff said: "There are horses, peacocks, birds and other animals here."

  "This horse has been here for two or three months, and the time for peacocks and birds is even longer. The show time of horses is from 2: 30 pm to 6: 30 pm, and the rest of the time is in the stable. Peacocks are displayed 24 hours a day and will be taken care of and fed every day. " The staff introduced that there are two people who are responsible for taking care of these animals. The horses are shipped from Shandong and the peacocks are from Indonesia. He said: "The animals are put here to attract customers, and the viewing is quite good."

  Environmentalists:

  Not in favor of displaying animals in shopping malls.

  The staff of Fashion Tianhe Property said: "The original intention of placing animals is that shopping malls should provide consumers with experiences and display ornamental things." The staff also stressed that the animal display is irregular. "Animals are not always raised or purchased by us, but we cooperate with other farms. For example, now we show this animal this season. After a while, the farm said that some better animals are more attractive and we will replace them. "

  So how to choose animals? The staff member said: "The first criterion for choosing animals is beauty, and the second is to consider the limitations of the site. We can’t put camels here, and we won’t show some rare animals. We will choose some docile animals that have a certain affinity with customers. " Regarding how to protect animals, the staff said that the cooperative farm has full-time medical staff and breeders to provide services for these animals. They will clean and disinfect the facilities every day, feed, clean and inspect the animals.

  Regarding the animal display in shopping malls, Chen Bingchao, a member of the Guangzhou local environmental protection organization "Nature Conservation Society of Birds, Animals, Insects and Trees", said: "The animal display in shopping malls depends on whether the symbols do not meet the corresponding standards, how big the venue is, whether it is suitable for animal activities, whether there are professionals to raise animals or whether the animals get proper medical care when they are sick. But generally speaking, the activity space of shopping malls is too small to meet the standards. From the perspective of the survival of animals themselves, it is best to return to nature, because nature is the environment in which they live. "

  Reporter’s notes

  Cross-disciplinary old people and animals can’t get through.

  Fashion Tianhe Commercial Plaza is located in the most famous Tianhe business district in Guangzhou, where customers and tourists gather from all over the world. According to the plan, Tianhe Road business district will be compared with world-famous business districts such as Tokyo, Paris, new york and Hongkong to build a world-class business district. Merchants need innovation and cross-border, but cross-border integration of new formats does not necessarily have an idea from animals.

  Many wildlife conservation scholars and people in the industry disapprove of displaying animals in a narrow space, which not only involves animal welfare issues, but also has the problem of "zoonosis". Besides, bird flu is not far away now, how can we ensure that poultry kept indoors are harmless to people?

  Previously, Zhengjia Plaza, which is also the Tianhe business district, planned to build an indoor zoo, which has caused controversy. Xie Meng, its vice chairman, actively listened to the opinions of all parties and said bluntly: "If everyone objects, we can consider not building a zoo." Xie Meng believes that cross-border integration and development means that the commercial economy should cross the border in the fields of experience economy, culture, education, popular science and art. In his view, the cross-border integration and development of Tianhe Road business circle has begun to take shape, and the composite ecology of business travel and culture has taken shape. I’m afraid such a business circle with multiple experiences really doesn’t need a few more birds and horses to attract more consumers.

  Business needs imagination, and business needs to be kind to animals and human beings.

See how Yuanyuan Zheng, founder of pedicure brand, can solve the pain points of chain industry.

At present, the outstanding problem in the development of chain industry is that it is not locked. The existing stores of enterprises seem to be in step, but in fact they are fighting independently, and there is no strategic overall view and the ability to build core resources.

However, in the humble pedicure service chain track, an industry brand, Yuanyuan Zheng Pedicure, rose quietly, and its founder Yuanyuan Zheng even shouted the strategic slogan of "50,000 shops in the world". Is it too ambitious or full of confidence?

At present, there are more than 7,513 pedicure houses in Yuanyuan Zheng, with more than 60,000 employees. Offline visits show that the density of pedicure shops in Yuanyuan Zheng is also surprising. On September 9th, Yuanyuan Zheng unveiled his successful business model in the keynote speech "Activating the Team to Be the First" at the 7th Entrepreneur Principal’s Festival sponsored by Action Education.

First, the business model of chain stores

According to public information, Yuanyuan Zheng pedicure has successfully built a chain store business model, which is divided into three steps. The first step is to form a single store profit model to solve the problems of customers attracting "staying", corporate profits and lifelong customers, and realize 0-1;

The second step is to copy the business model. The essence of the chain is to copy, and the core of solving the problem of not locking is that the standard can be copied. Yuanyuan Zheng has built a three-pronged standardized operation system of "profit distribution+target assessment+promotion and growth" to encourage employees to grow successfully and realize enterprise 1-100;

The third step is personnel training and organizational fission. Yuanyuan Zheng adopts a three-thirds management system to activate organizational efficiency, and has set up more than ten subsidiaries, such as Hiking Technology and Jiejian Technology, to serve Yuanyuan, realize the closed loop of the whole industrial chain and complete the fission of 100-10000.

Second, the chain empowerment business model

The business model changes and upgrades with the development strategy of enterprises, and the chain store business model is the previous stage of the development of Yuanyuan Zheng business model. Yuanyuan Zheng’s ultimate goal is to realize the closed loop of 100 chain industries. To this end, he upgraded the model and innovatively created a chain-empowered business model, with dream activation, strategic guidance and mission struggle as the core support.

Based on the mission of struggling for the ecological closed-loop of service chain, Yuanyuan Zheng incubates industrial workers, store management talents and chain management talents in batches on the basis of the original business model and operation system, and provides lifelong services by accurately targeting customers with big data. At the same time, through capital operation, it empowers the ecological closed-loop, creates the first closed-loop of chain industries, and then replicates the closed-loop standards to realize 100 closed-loops of chain industries, helping the healthy development of the industry.

A healthy business model is standardized, highly efficient and reproducible, and has barriers, which can bring sustainable profitability to enterprises. Yuanyuan Zheng, with his unique business thinking, found opportunities in the market, helped enterprises to expand rapidly and improve brand awareness, and at the same time solved the industry pain point of chain enterprises without locking, which provided a reference for the closed-loop development of chain enterprises.
